That was a very convincing, controlled performance for me with lots of moments of quality throughout, and hard-pressed to find real criticism in any player. Cahill did seem to look a little unsure of himself still when he came back on after the collision, but that fortunately wore off, good job too, with a nice header finish. Very JT like that goal. The team was very composed and perhaps we were too composed, and needed a pinch more of aggression to appease those wanting complete dominance. Credit to Hull, they did well considering their place in the table.
Alonso continues to improve I noticed again today, and I continue to be impressed by our controlled passing and use of the wings. I do miss seeing Hazard surging through 3-4 defenders at once, hopefully we'll get to see it again soon, but not likely in the coming fixtures.
The headline of the day however has to be Costa's answer to the media, he said so much just by scoring that goal, and the celebration was a brilliant response as well. I can see that celebration becoming a popular meme for future, over-dramatised, stories aimed at rattling the club.
Great weekend overall.
